To all '1n/0m it may aendern.'

lle-it known that I, TriouAs BILYEU, a citizen-- o1 the United States,.residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon,have invented certain new and vuseful r'Improvements in Coin-DeliveringMachines, of which the following is a specification.

A machine for selecting and delivering money'in predetermined amounts inaccordance Aherewith comprises primarily a plurality of holdersforvcoins of different de-1 nominations, ejector mechanism composed"connected therefrom, and therefore' not necselectors which are adaptedto move the' ejector bars bodily inone ydirection into op* erativferelation to the actuator aforesaid, and means preferably movable inopposite direction and positively operated by the actuator toA renderselected ejector bars inoperative again when the coin delivery operationhas been ollected.

Throughout the following description and on the several figures ofthedrawings, similar partsare referred to by like reference Characters. f i

As indicated in Fig. l, the machine inchicles a series of tubes open attheir tops for the reception of coins of different denom- 'lars-inunits, from 1-9; set of key's'c'repres.nt dimes from l-9, vandfset drepresent cents fronti-9. 'f

` vThe arrangement ofv coin tubes show-n includes as many groups asthere are sets of keys. The first group of tubes are indicated by thelettersA, B and C, said-group pertaining to the set of keys` a.Thefsecond group of' tubes are indicatedY bythe letters D, E and F andpertain to the set of keys l). 'lhc third group` of tubes are indicatedby the lett-ers (i, Il. l. J and K and pertain -to keys of set c. T hefourtlr"groupl of tubes, indicatori by the letters L, ,M and N, pen tainto the set of vkeys d. .Tube is to be supplied with twenty-dollar goldpieces or double. eagles, which are to be' .lelivcrcd therefrom eithersingly or in twos at the will of the o erator. Tube B is to bc suppliedwith diduble eagles, which are to hc delivered therefrom always by twos.Tulio ("iz# to be supplied with ten-dollar gold pieces or agles, 'whicharr` always to br daliiercd t (frefrom singly. Tube l) is to he suppliedwith five-dollar gold pieces. whirl] :irc to be delivered therefromsingly. Tube ll is to be supplied with silver dollars, which are to bedelivered therefrom either singly or by twos. Tube F'is to be suppliedwith silver dollars, and is intended to deliver the lsame by twos only.vTube G is to be supplied with half dollars which are to be deliveredsingly. Tube H is -tol'be supplied with quartersmhich are to be; deli'vfered singly. Tubes I and J are each to be supplied with dimes, which aretof-be delivered therefrom singly ineach case, itbef ing found inpractice thatsirce 'dimes be-v come worn so much by usage,Y itisimpossible to rely upon the delivery-of either -one or two from the sametube; as is' thecase with larger coins. Tubes Kand L ,areeachA su'ppliedv vith'n'ckeIS,A from eaclr'of which the coins are to-be .deliveredsingly'. Tube M is supplied ,withilpenniea which a-reA to bedeliveredtherefrom either singly or-in twos, and tubel N is suppliedwithpen'nies, to be delivered in twos only.

Upon depression 'of4 key 1. of set a the ejector mechanism ofl tube Cywill be set to deliver' an .eagle-therefrom. Upon depression of key2 ofthe sameset the ejector mechanism ofytube yA 'will be set to deliver adouble .eagle from-tube' A. The depres sion of key 3 will setthevmechanisms of' both of tubes A and-C so as to deliver $30.

. TheI depression of key 4 will set the mecha'- nism of tube B so as todeliver two'double eagles. The depression key 5 will set the ejectormechanisms of both of tubes B and C. The depression of key 6 'will setthe ejector mechanism oftube A to deliver one double e'agle'and that oftube B so as to deliver simultaneously $60. The depression Y of key 7will add the setting ofthe mechanism of tube C to' that just described.The depression of key 8 willv adjust the delivery mechanism of tubes Aand B so as to delire'r two double eagles from'each,'and the'depressionof key 9 will adjust all ofthevejector mechanisms of thisgroup so as"`to:-

- msm of tube F to deliver $2; the depression of key Bwould set themechanisms of tubes Eand -F'to deliver $3, and the-depression of key 4wod set the' same mechanism to deliversSf., he depression of -key 5 wouldsettlie mechanism of tube D to deliver a five-dollar gold piece, andsoron'throughout this group. From the foregoing it is believed that theAfunction o r purpose of all the groupsin making the various amountsther detailed suggestion.

Referring now to the specific construction of the present machine, ldenotes a suitable casing'or frame and 2 are holders or tubeshereinbefore referred to, and from the bottom portions of which thecoins are adapted tobe delivered.

- Mounted inthe 'rear portion of' the machine and lengthwise thereof anactuator comprising a rock shaft 3 and a plurality of movementtherewith. At theirl upper ends the -arlnsf4 are adaptedto coperate withplurality -0 groups of devices arranged to coperate vwith the' various:corresponding groupsof coin holders 2, veach ejector device including arack 6, constituting an actuat- -ing member, andhavin'g.teeth at itsrear -end in mesh with teeth at the upper end of an adjacent arm 4. iThe front' end of the 'rack 6 carries a pivoted gravity catch 7 an'opening 7 in the ejector bar 9.

The bar 9 is pivotally connected at its front end, as shown at 10 toanejector slide 11 and said barl 9 is movable in a horizontal plane, orthe samevjplane as its ejecting movement so as to begadjusted in aposition in which it is in substantial alinement with the parts 6 and11, whereupon it is operacoin'or coins from the tube or holder 2therefor. Normally, however, the` various ejector bars 9 are so arrangedthat their rear ends are not in the paths of movement provided Afor.operating one or morekof the tion in alinementwith corresponding racksthcoins .12 may bedelivered' when the actuator'is operated. The'selector mechanism ,comprisesa plu-' :'bars" arranged longitudinally ofthe machine, ijn,v sets .that correspond with the groupsof ejectors andformed with projections 21 extending upwardly therefrom so as ,to engagethe ejector bars 9 when the selectors are-operated. lTheselectors aresupported in guides 22 and are f operable. by manipulative meansvconsisting of sets of 'harsrl and 16 pivotally mounted'at oppor siteends on longitudinal pivot rods 17 and 18 respectively.

which has been'before described, are secured atvtheirlower endstolateral exten- .sions ori the free ends of the bars 15and 16 and eachkey has a suitable'fnger piece at its-upper extremity.` Each bar of the4variof change will be understood without fur-I supported at 8'and'adapted to engage with of thev racks 6,"suitable selector means beingvejector bars 9jto movegthe same into a posi,

rality of selectors 20 consisting of sets of u Keys' 11H9: which formlthe rows Va, L, c andd, the loperatiqn of isb shaft 3,. the racks 6 towhich the catches 7 'by thedenominations'of'coins which a pre-lf 8,which extends Apara ll el to the rock shaft-'2r more of the selectors'20, being adapted to engagev with a camV 23 on an adjacent end of:rktoeperating selector, whereby on, depres- Sion of the keyl and thebar with which it is connected, 4thelatter will engage 'the cam 23 ofone or more Selectors impart to the. latter longitudinal. nnlo'jeinent,cooperation selectors fwit'h' the ejector Ioars 9 tothus move thelatterinto alin'ee nient with the racks `6 ready 'for' operation by theactuator. The number of .projec tions or lugs 21 carried byeach'selector 20 will depend upon the number of ejector bars `which itis designed that said' selector, shalloperate, and this matterv isgoverneddeterminedselector will selectin, l

The preferable arrangement -of parts contemplates that there shall beas'many -selectonbars as there are keys 19. and a set ofselector barswill comprise thc-se adjacent to one another and operable by a singlerow of, the keys of the entirebaukV provided.

yl`heloperation of the device briefly `is as ollovrs: When itis desiredto make any particular amount of change, such for example as $417.53,the operator standing in front'of the machine as indicated in F ig. 1,will depress key 4 of set a, indicating the number of 'eagles or tensofldollars desired, key 7 of set indicating the number of unitsofdollars desired,.key 5 of set c.v indicating the number ofwdimes, andkey 3 o'fnset d, indicating the number of cents, lVhen said keys aredepressed the 'ejector mechanisms Will be brought into operativepositionvlwith reference to tubes B, D, F, G, M and N, all of the othermovable members .9 n of the ejector iechanislns remaining in theirnormal inoperal-ive position, The operator will the` draw upon the lever29 connected to the rock shaft 3, causing the racks 6, with whiclr theaforesaid. ejector mechanisms have been brought into alineinent, tovmove toward the tubes and thereby deliver the desiredcoins from thetubes indicated, all of which would be performed simultaneously by asingle sweep or operation of the lever 29. In order to restore .theejectors to their normal position, the gravity catches 7 are' soarranged as to engage in holes 7a on the free ends of the links 9 at thetime the ejectors are operated to discharge or deliver the coins. Lachof the catches will therefore remain in engagement fwith the respectiveejector bar f) ,while he coinsl are being delivered, and upon thereverse movement of the lever 29 and rock are pivotcd will drag or .drawthe, members 5) nud l1 reamvardlvuntil the rear .end of each of thecatches is brought into engagement. with thelower-surtacc of a releaserod and substantially throughoutthe lengtlrct the machine. Suchengagement of the pawls with the rod 8a necessitates the points or nosesthereof to be withdrawn from the links 9.' Slightly further movement orrotation of the rock shaft will' cause a finger 2T extending upwardlytherefrom to engage the rear end of a lever 2l pivoted on -a verticalpivot 25, `and-by virtue of a conncctionbetween 'through-a pin and slotconnection 26. .The

bai' 28 has lugs upon its uder side for engagementwith the respectiveejector bars 9, to .render the latter inoperative. l

From the foregoing, it vvil'lbe understood that the selectors whenoperated by the inanipulative'j'means comprising the keys 19,` willeffect movement of the ejector bars bodily in the plane Vof theirejecting movement, and in one directiomwvhile the bar 28 is operable bymovement in the opposite di reetion to restore all'previously selectedejectors 9 to their original position.
